Freshly scanned artwork! For whatever reason, getting the art to the scanner (or in front of the camera) seems to take forever. But this is one of my favorites - and it might even make it to the wall one of these days! Though I am excited to be able to share - I do believe that the important thing is the act of creation and the fulfillment that it gives... even if it is not seen or appreciated by others. Like most artists, I create because I need to. This piece, which I called The Bright One, is a good example of what I love about the visual arts - color. Collage allows me to play with color, shape, and ideas in a way that is very flexible and suits my crazy life. I can start and stop whenever, and that works well for me.
